The Dala Horse
The European Eventing Championships in Malmô, Sweden are coming to a close in just a few short hours. You can catch the action over at FEI TV if you happen to be an east-coast early riser or a west-coast night-owl. Show Jumping is scheduled to start at 4:55 AM Eastern, 1:55 AM Pacific. Leader Michael Jung heads in to the Show Jumping round with a 28.6, followed by William Fox-Pitt with a 36.6. With how amazing his XC was on Saturday, I don’t think he’s going to need those two rails. As a side note, when I was in college, I had a crush on a tremendously handsome Swede. In fact, so much of a crush, that I took a year of Swedish classes. Most of it has faded, but I have retained several phrases of varying usefulness. I will share these with you now.
“Jag älskar ol.” = I love beer.
“Din häst är fet.” = Your horse is fat.
“Det kostar hur mycket?” = It costs how much?
“Jag kommer att köpa häst.” = I will buy the horse.
I wonder what that says about me that the only Swedish I can remember is related to spending money, horses and beer. Hmm. On to the links!
